Photo dated 1955 by the source but this Viscount was built for MEA in 1957, and the titles indicate that the photo is from the 1960s. When this airframe returned from a lease to Jordan Airways in January 1964, MEA had taken over Air Liban and aircraft wore dual titles for a while. The Air Liban name was dropped in 1965. OD-ACU to Air Rhodesia in 1968 as VP-WAR. Broken up at Harare in 1986 with nearly 40,000 flying hours and 30,000 landings. Photo from: SFO Museum

Captured in the setting mid-winter sun on the highveld of Johannesburg, VP-WAR is carrying the original Air Rhodesia colours. This colour scheme was changed with the arrival of the Boeing 720s from 1973 onwards.
